A former Minister of Education and one of the coordinators of the BringBackOurGirls campaign, Dr Oby Ezekwesili almost missed her flight to London earlier today, where she was scheduled to appear on a BBC Hard Talk programme.
According to her, the Department of State Security Services (SSS), which only recently labelled her group of campaigners a ‘franchise’, temporarily seized her passport during screening of passengers at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja.
Ezekwesili, whose passport was later released by the SSS operatives, tweeted her encounter via her handle @obyezeks:
